For my broken LT fog lights, replacing them with LED's was a 30 minute job and cost ~ $20. LED lights bolted right into the housing for the factory fogs.

These are the 36 watt ones I've had for two years:

I ordered some 480 watt lights to replace the 36 watt ones, the 36 watt'ers are going under my rear bumper for backup lights.

(40) 12watt LED's in each light vs (12) 3watt LED's

I'll be able to see for miles!

I'd love to have those lights below my rear bumper for tail gaters!

Well I wouldn't call them "plug and play" but they're pretty darn simple. Pull out the old socket and bulb, cut the socket off leaving two bare wires. The LED's just have two bare wires as well.

Connect wires together , seal up with electrical tape (if I did it now I'd use shrink tubing but I didn't have a heat gun when I did mine) and then bolt them in. For added protection I put the wires inside split wire loom and taped that up as well.

I ended up using the bulb socket for the bolt that holds the lights in so I drilled a 3/16" hole to run the wires through. They've withstood a couple of Colorado winters and some mild off roading since then.

I think the whole process took me maybe a couple of hours but I work pretty slow.

ETA: You also have to remove the old reflector, I did that with a pair of snips.

Here's a day shot.

Here's how i mounted mine. I don't use them much, but when I do, I don't notice them shaking/vibrating at all.

Night shot.

Iirc, I added spade connectors to the pigtails coming off the fogs, and plugged them into the factory plug and taped them up really good. It's been 1 1/2 yrs, and no problems yet.

Mine appear to be. I usually run silicone around the edges of aftermarket lenses. I've had lenses get moisture in them before, but i didn't do it to these and they're still dry.

 

[YukonXL04]

I ran a piece of #10 solid up the A pillar and am the way to the back of the rear door under the weatherstripping. You'd never know it's there, it's stiff enough that it won't move, and I've maintained even my AM reception.

I did mine like that, tried laying the antenna down first, didn't work.

But now it's been a couple years and my fm reception has gone to crap. Looking at putting the dang stock antenna back on

Mine didn't work either. Ran the wire in the weatherstripping and thankfully it's still working.

 

[YukonXL04]

Yea I had the wire up the a pillar for a few years. First it was great inside the city, and after about 45 mins out of town you would lose it. Now i hardly have signal in my driveway.

Just went to a scrap yard and they gave me am antenna for free lol. Perfect reception again.

Amber delete. Heat gun, but could be done with an oven, couple pocket screwdrivers, and seemed like silicone was sealing them before, so resealed with silicone. If your bulbs aren’t amber, I guess you’d want bulbs though

 

[05Single]

nevermind , I had an airhead moment. Lights look good

3. Looking at the wireless phone charger mod.
